Glass wearers.

I'm not sure that's true TBH. Anyway, why is looking in the distance more eye exercising than looking close? I was under the impression that changing focus between a 30-50cm, then to a few meters, was all that was needed to 'exercise' the eye and that the 'relaxed' mode was 'staring into the distance'.

Actually, I have to take it all back - Having just questioned the oracle, apparently myopia rates have increased considerably over the last 50 years. Partly caused by close work and less time outdoors. Though it's possible that should be that 'detected myopia rates' have increased.

However, the increase in glasses use is partly that and partly better access to eyecare and, of course, an aging population.

In summary, ignore everything I've said in my previous posts on the subject

I would suggest because , similar to muscles there is an antagonist and agonist , movement is initiated and the needs an opposing movement to take it back to a central reset point that is healthy and balanced.

If one spends to much time just practicing one movement - over time that neutral reset point is pulled/moved towards the action that is doing most work. A muscular imbalance of sorts.

Spend too much time and over time it becomes an issue.

Morning exposure to deep red light improves declining eyesight

Just three minutes of exposure to deep red light once a week, when delivered in the morning, can significantly improve declining eyesight, finds a pioneering new study by UCL researchers.

In interesting read. Thanks.

Red light therapy for seems to be a thing - for eyes and general recovery- either a neat marketing ploy or actual scientifically proven, i'm not sure but there definitely an option to explore it.

I'll give it a whirl but that photo of the lady self administrating is somewhat of a comedy gold standard material.

When I first started work at 16 I had a medical exam. The doctor gave me the eye test and asked what most of my work was.

"Sitting typing at an IBM 3270 terminal".

"Well, within about five years, you'll need glasses for reading".

I eventually needed reading glasses when I reached about 45. After about 34 years of intensive computer use (started at 11).

Exactly the same with me - I am not convinced about the whole screen use thing

There are a couple of threads on BudgetLightForum about it and the sad demise of the little AAA Sofirn Sc01 (I think that was the one). The LED in it was bang on spec for wavelength. I haven’t re-read the threads, but I do know red light at the deep red nm has been praised by migraine sufferers (shone into the nostrils) and for helping sports injuries. I used the red light with a diffuser attached for a while and felt my eyesight to be a bit sharper, enough to notice.

Fact is, as long as it’s not 1000 lumens direct into the eye or whatever, there’s no harm in trying it.

Meh. Its one of the things old people told me about when I was young.
Thing is, well... I was young and didn't listen to old people when they chuntered on about their ailments.
Now I have some of the same complaints I'm like..
"How come nobody mentioned this?"
They did.
